£50.95

The TrolMaster PPH-1 Reservoir pH Sensor provides continuous monitoring of pH within water and nutrient reservoirs when connected to a compatible TrolMaster AMP Sensor Board and control system.

Designed specifically for reservoir monitoring, the PPH-1 allows growers to track changes in the acidity or alkalinity of irrigation water and nutrient solution without relying solely on occasional handheld measurements.

The probe is positioned directly in the reservoir and connects to the appropriate TrolMaster Sensor Board using its BNC connection. Sensor data can then be displayed through the compatible TrolMaster controller and, on connected systems, through the TrolMaster app.

With a 3.6m cable for flexible positioning, the PPH-1 provides a straightforward way to add continuous reservoir pH monitoring to a TrolMaster irrigation and nutrient-management system.

Why choose the TrolMaster PPH-1?

  • Continuous pH monitoring - keep track of changes in reservoir pH throughout the irrigation cycle.
  • Designed for reservoirs - specifically intended for monitoring water and nutrient solution held within a tank.
  • TrolMaster system integration - connects to compatible controllers through an AMP-2 or AMP-3 Sensor Board.
  • BNC connection - provides a straightforward connection to the pH input of the appropriate sensor board.
  • 3.6m cable - offers flexibility when positioning the probe and associated control equipment.
  • Remote monitoring capability - compatible connected TrolMaster systems can display pH information through the TrolMaster app.
  • High and low alerts - compatible systems can provide notifications when monitored pH moves outside configured limits.
  • Part of a complete nutrient-monitoring system - combine with compatible EC and water-temperature sensing for more comprehensive reservoir monitoring.

Monitor nutrient solution pH continuously

The pH of a nutrient solution can change after nutrients are mixed and as the solution remains within the reservoir. Plant uptake, source-water characteristics and additions to the reservoir can all contribute to changes over time.

Installing a PPH-1 allows these changes to be monitored continuously through the TrolMaster system. This provides considerably more information than relying on occasional manual measurements alone and makes unexpected changes easier to identify.

On compatible TrolMaster systems, minimum and maximum limits can be configured so that the system can notify the user when monitored pH moves outside the desired range.

Designed for reservoir installation

The PPH-1 is TrolMaster's standard reservoir pH probe. It is designed to be positioned directly within the water or nutrient solution being monitored rather than installed into irrigation pipework.

The integrated 3.6m cable allows the probe to be positioned within the reservoir while the associated AMP Sensor Board and controller can be located appropriately outside the tank.

For applications requiring a more robust commercial-grade reservoir probe, TrolMaster also offers the PPH-2 Heavy-Duty In-Tank pH Sensor. For applications requiring inline installation, the PPH-3 features a threaded body designed for both drop-in and inline use.

TrolMaster controller compatibility

The PPH-1 operates through a compatible TrolMaster AMP Sensor Board. The sensor board required depends on the controller being used.

Aqua-X NFS-1 Compatible using AMP-2 Sensor Board
Aqua-X Pro NFS-2 Compatible using AMP-3 Sensor Board
Aqua-X Plus NFS-3 Compatible using AMP-3 Sensor Board
Green-X GCS-1 Compatible using AMP-3 Sensor Board
Tent-X TCS-1 Compatible using AMP-3 Sensor Board

Important pH probe care

Never allow the PPH-1 sensing element to dry out completely. TrolMaster specifies that all of its pH probes should be stored using the storage cap and the correct pH probe storage solution whenever they are not in use.

A pH probe that is allowed to dry completely may no longer operate correctly. Correct storage, cleaning and calibration are therefore important for maintaining dependable measurements.

TrolMaster also states that a pH probe returned without its storage cap and in a dry condition will not be eligible for warranty coverage.

TrolMaster PPH-1 Reservoir pH Sensor FAQs

What does the TrolMaster PPH-1 measure?

The PPH-1 monitors the pH of water or nutrient solution, allowing changes in acidity and alkalinity to be monitored continuously through a compatible TrolMaster system.

What is the PPH-1 designed for?

The PPH-1 is specifically designed as a reservoir pH sensor for monitoring water or nutrient solution held within a tank.

Can I place the PPH-1 directly into a nutrient reservoir?

Yes. Reservoir monitoring is the intended application for the PPH-1.

Can the PPH-1 be installed inline?

The PPH-1 is intended for reservoir monitoring. For an installation requiring a threaded inline probe, the TrolMaster PPH-3 is designed for both drop-in and inline use.

Does the PPH-1 connect directly to an Aqua-X controller?

No. The pH probe connects through a compatible AMP Sensor Board, which then connects to the TrolMaster controller.

Which Sensor Board does the PPH-1 use?

The Aqua-X NFS-1 uses the AMP-2 Sensor Board. Compatible Aqua-X Pro, Aqua-X Plus, Green-X and Tent-X systems use the AMP-3 Sensor Board.

How long is the PPH-1 cable?

The PPH-1 has a 3.6m cable, providing flexibility when positioning the probe within a reservoir.

What connector does the PPH-1 use?

The PPH-1 uses a BNC connection to connect to the pH input on a compatible TrolMaster AMP Sensor Board.

Can I monitor reservoir pH through the TrolMaster app?

Yes. When connected to a compatible internet-connected TrolMaster controller through the appropriate Sensor Board, pH data can be displayed through the TrolMaster system and app.

Can the system alert me if reservoir pH changes too much?

Yes. Compatible TrolMaster systems allow minimum and maximum pH limits to be configured and can provide notifications when readings move outside those limits.

Can the PPH-1 pH probe be allowed to dry out?

No. TrolMaster states that its pH probes must remain hydrated and should be stored with the correct probe storage solution and storage cap whenever they are not in use.

Does the PPH-1 measure EC or water temperature?

No. The PPH-1 measures pH. EC and water temperature can be monitored separately using a compatible TrolMaster PCT-series sensor.

What is the difference between the PPH-1, PPH-2 and PPH-3?

The PPH-1 is TrolMaster's standard reservoir pH sensor. The PPH-2 is a commercially rated heavy-duty in-tank probe, while the PPH-3 uses an improved compact threaded design that supports both reservoir and inline installation.

Which TrolMaster systems support the PPH-1?

TrolMaster lists the PPH-1 for use with Aqua-X NFS-1, Aqua-X Pro NFS-2, Aqua-X Plus NFS-3, Green-X GCS-1 and Tent-X TCS-1 when used with the appropriate AMP-2 or AMP-3 Sensor Board.
